Busy busy busy with the party. Sorry for the late post. 100 Quatloos to the first person to correctly identify the origin (title and artist) of the song lyrics quoted on the title line without looking it up (ie. cheating).

The Dude and the AKO went to see the new Star Trek movie recently, and both enjoyed it immensely- the AKO went as far as to say it was her favorite Star Trek movie of all time (can’t beat Wrath of Khan, as far as The Dude is concerned). It was fun to watch some…

Happy weekend! 100 Quatloos to the first person to correctly identify the origin (title and artist) of the song lyrics quoted on the title line without looking it up (ie. cheating).

The Dude felt sad this week when he heard that a second luminary in the RPG industry had died. He had the pleasure to meet and shake his hand two years ago at the FLGS (Friendly Local Gaming Store) during Worldwide Dungeons and Dragons day, and Mr. Arneson seemed a very kind, down to earth…

Figures. The Dude heard about these really cool sounding running shoes, and of course they aren’t available in the USA… at least for men (oddly enough they are available for women). Oh well. The Dude just wanted to try on a pair to see what they’d feel like– I mean, tabi style running shoes?!?! How…
